Clear, transparent terms governing quantity takeoff deliverables, IS 1200 measurement standards, intellectual property rights, and commercial estimation scope.
Effective Date: September 2026
By engaging The Estimation Company (TEC) for bill of quantities (BOQ) preparation, quantity takeoff (QTO), rate analysis, or tender auditing, the client agrees to the standard service conditions outlined below.
All quantities, material takeoffs, and cost estimates prepared by TEC are formulated strictly based on client-supplied architectural, structural, and MEP drawing sets. While TEC enforces the highest degree of measurement accuracy in compliance with Indian Standard IS 1200, CPWD DSR, and standard method of measurement guidelines, our deliverables constitute professional quantity surveying assessments rather than structural engineering certifications or final contractor performance guarantees.
The client is responsible for furnishing clear, legible drawing sets with verified scale references. Substantial design changes, architectural revisions, or structural grid modifications issued after takeoff commencement may require scope recalibration and adjusted delivery timelines under mutual written agreement.
Upon receipt of agreed fee settlements, the client receives full, unrestricted ownership and usage rights to all deliverables, including unlocked Microsoft Excel workbooks containing transparent, active calculation formulas and quantity measurement registers.
The AskTEC AI assistant and preliminary calculator widgets provide orientation guidance regarding construction estimation terminology and benchmark ranges. Preliminary values do not replace itemized drawing-based takeoffs signed off by our engineering team.
All agreements entered into with The Estimation Company are governed by the laws of India, and any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in Bangalore (Bengaluru), Karnataka.
